Question GSL-SE going for 6k?

Ebay auction HERE

1985 GSL-SE, 32k miles, going for 6,100$ right now. What do you guys think? Seems like a lot of money to me!

Are cars are worth it.......I think mines worth 10k.......

Even though it has only 32k on the clock there are alot of little things wrong with it.......That protecting stuff makes the engine bay look like ****........or it just needs to be cleaned really bad.........

Hope it goes up above 10k...........Makes all of are cars
look good...........

It's worth it. With 30k miles it's like a 2 year old car. And this is a classic! I'd buy it at that price (then sell this SE with 140k that I'll end up restoring to less perfect quality, starting with the bendix that just went out).

Jim, its O U R. I had to read your post twice. I thought you were asking a question at first. Are our cars worth it?

I'd be hard pressed to sell mine for less than that, but I don't doubt that the SE will draw out some collector that's looking for the epitome of the 1st Gen chassis.

The SE's have the original looks of the first cars across the ocean - the SA22's, but you add in EFI, a larger fuel tank, creature comforts, etc. and the SE is the one to have.

I'm biased, though.

what's interesting is that at $6100 USD, the reserve is not met yet - and 31 bids. This person is not going to give this car away and it looks like a lot of people are interested - great news for the rest of us

I think if I didn't have my car now, I would probably buy it.
